Author Description

There are two kinds of people in life... those who can handle what life throws at them, and those who can't. The difference has nothing to do with race, gender, education, income, or even religion. Both groups live in the same world and face the same challenges. But some people have a pattern of foolish decisions and bad habits, leading to consequences that limit their options. They roll down the highway of life, banging into the guardrails and running out of gas. They are dented and indebted, addicted and doing damage to others, wobbling under the burdens of their choices. Others have learned the three rules to the best kind of life: make wise decisions, have good habits, and value freedom. They don't burden themselves with bad debt, bad habits, or bad relationships. They make shrewd business deals and wisely manage their minds, money, and marriages. They accept personal responsibility and relish the risks-as well as the rewards-of liberty. They listen to advice and learn from their mistakes. And because they live this way, they have choices and opportunities. They live the best kind of life: wise, good, and free. In Be Wise, Do Good, Live Free, Greg Smith offers modern proverbs and short essays on the best kind of life life. Randomly organized, he covers money and marriage, careers and childhood, politics and travel. Don't you want to be wise, good, and free?
